Incase you didn't notice XD I can barely afford the $5 entry fee.

SSX has informed me that he'd like to be considered a "maybe". He says he's definitely coming, but that he may not participate in the tourney.

Are we straight on everything at this point? Let me know if you guys need me to bring anything.

[Detrimentalman]

I'll be doing a map or two as needed.

One of my two guy's is a maybe at this point. But I am for sure bringing someone else with me

I've come across discussion of this topic before but don't recall it happening to me in a tournament so I figured I best throw it out there and get some feedback so no one is surprised come tournament time.
I believe that the definition of being on one's army precludes that figure from being harmed by other members of that figure's army. If you have one figure damage another figure, that other figure must be from a different army than yours. This does not rule out your harming of your figures by themselves, i.e. falling, stepping in lava, etc.

Actually, the ruling is that you can attack you own figures. Which can be useful for instance when getting rid of a unit afflicted with lycanthropy or boosting Krug's attack. This was brought up most thoroughly in discussion of the Deathreavers and scatter. Since you can attack your own figures an errata was required to not allow a scatter when a rat attacks a teammate.

SCATTER: After a Deathreaver you control rolls defense dice against a normal attack from an opponent’s figure, you may move any 2 Deathreavers you control up to 4 spaces each. (Hasbro FAQ)

The bold portion implies that you may attack your own figures.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I just want to know, is there any special tournament rules I should know about? Detrimentalman was telling me in the event I went to that there was this rule that if a character is flying, it has to look forward or something. Any other rules like that? It will be my first time playing in serious tournament so I don't want to look like a noob lol

That's silly. What if the figure is designed so that it can't look where it is flying? We don't make up stupid rules, just stick to normal and reasonable ones for the most part.

Lol ok I learned a lot from the last event I went to. So I'll stick with what I know. If anything comes up I'll ask.

You are allowed to attack your own figures. There are very few situations where it's beneficial to do so (typically they involve shotgun blasts), but it is permissible within the rules.

If it weren't, the Deathreavers wouldn't have needed to be errata'd, and Heirloom's force orb wouldn't require that you "choose an oppoent's figure to attack."

[warriorneedsfoodbadly]

Thank you for your feedback on the attacking of your own. I remain unconvinced that the wording of character cards to not attack your own is somehow proof that you generally are allowed to do so.
Does anyone have a link they can share that explicitly shows that Hasbro is okay with armies turning on themselves? It just doesn't make any sense that you could go all traitor and not have any repercussions.

Or healing your vampires, or extending a chained attack (e.g. Arcane Bolt). But I believe the rule is also that, when you attack one of your own figures, it is required that you roll all the defense dice it can. No saying "well, this guys wants to make the sacrifice, so he doesn't defend himself." ISTR it's in the FAQ. (Which we should probably have a copy of at the tourney AFA that goes. P'raps I'll print one out and bring it.)
